Answer to Question 1

They are both compact objects, with about the same mass. Both are supported by degenerate matter: white dwarfs by degenerate electrons, and neutron stars by degenerate neutrons.

Answer to Question 2

Absolute visual magnitude of a star is the apparent visual magnitude it would have if it were 10 pc away, and is an expression of the intrinsic brightness of a star. The luminosity of a star is the total energy the star radiates, including at non-visual wavelengths, in one second. Absolute visual magnitude includes only visible radiation.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
